Lol keep dodging the FACTS i made. Yall scared of the truth

Talk about homer glasses, yours are so thick they have blinded you. First of let's agree the defense is potentially better this year. Statistically they almost have to be, the last two years they were 32 and 31 in points allowed. That is historically bad. And New Orleans has spent 14 out of the last 21 draft picks on defense. I would hope they are better. The problem is even if they improve 10 spots that will still not be top 20. The offense has lost some key pieces but it depends on what Peterson has left and what the offensive line does in the running game. Brees will get his yards but the question will be redzone offense against defenses that all have improved. The Panthers in a big way. Plus Newton finally has some weapons something Brees takes for granted. Frankly if we stay healthy this year we will be better this year than the 2015 team. Honestly I don't expect the same number of wins as 2015. Most likely 11 or 12. But if you think we won't be very improved over last year, let's talk after tomorrow.

Maybe because they had corners off the street starting since game 2 last year. Or maybe the fact they never had starting quality line backers. Great thing about it is they addressed those issues. Why were the Panthers trash last year? I'll wait

Lol Saints had the most sacks in the preseason and had the 2nd ranked defense"bu bu bu but they still look the same" hahaha

Yall need to take off the homer shades. Saints have by far a better roster. Panthers have arguably the worst roster in the NFCS. 

Now, you've just entered a whole new level retardation there.

I just want to be honest here. I am a decent person. I open doors for people, not just old ladies. I don't agree with kicking a man when he is down. And Lord knows I don't always agree with my Huddle brethren.

 

That said. LOL using preseason stats to scare someone. C'mon Man!

We in here talking about pre season. I mean, listen, we're talking about pre season. Not a game, not a game, not a game, we talking about pre season. Not a game.

Preseason matters. No preseason pass rush = no regular season pass rush. Ex 2014- 2016 saints, 2017 patriots

The Titans had their 1st DLine in against our mostly 2nd string OLine. They didn't get a sack. Does that mean our 2nd string OL is better than their 1st string DL? Or is it just PRESEASON?

 

You evaluate during preseason. You don't count stats. It is useless. Well unless you need some sort of encouragement. Any good is better than all bad so to speak. For good teams, preseason is practice. For teams like the aints, it is important team building.

Records don't matter. Preseason play with starters do

 

There are two types of folks that should get excited over Preseason. Fans, and talent evaluators. You are obviously the former, cuz we all know your team doesn't have the talent to warrant much evaluation during PRESEASON.

    • excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan. 
    • Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
    • a) That they made it a point in the room to point at the paper and say, "hope the camera got that" suggests we really did target the players we wanted and got them. While there is a ton of editing happening to cut out conversations not related to the players we picked, there didn't seem to be a lot of panic about who/what was going on b) Tepper appreciates the analytics. Now that he has a few years to see how the front office team works together to do the analysis, it still looks like he's hands-off (he's learned his lesson??). He seemed less vocal than in previous years' Blueprints (at least, in the edit).  I wouldn't expect Canales to be overly vocal in the draft room - he's likely already made his opinions known behind the scenes about certain players. Draft day is Morgan and Tilis and Eager's day. Loved seeing their interactions/conversations  c) that's all Eager. There's a great piece somewhere about the analytics engine he built floating around somewhere (maybe it was just after the draft?), and how he's constantly tweaking it with info about the players and input from the coaching staff.  That the post-draft press - for the most part - all seem to be overly positive about the draft actions we had compared to other teams makes it seem like we've gotten the ship moving in the right direction. Whether it translates to on-field results, well, that's a different topic for hundreds of other threads
